What is a Pig Pickin??
Some parishioners proposed to have a Pig Roast in the parish yard this Fall. The Vestry thought that a great idea an scheduled it for Saturday evening October 14. We will have a tent. It will be in the late afternoon to watch the sunset over the Hudson. We will have some non-pig stuff as well. The Rector has promised to make peach pie. It will be great fun. Bring friends and neighbors. More details to follow. BTW- Apparently in some parts of the US a Pig Roast is called a Pig Pickin and the Vestry continues on its path towards full cultural diversity.
What is a Rector Installation?
This is a big deal and we hope you can all be at this event on Saturday evening October 21 at the church. All newly called Rectors are installed by a bishop at their new parish. It’s a service that is in the Prayer Book, The whole parish can participate. Many visitors from Georgia and other parishes will come to St Nick’s. Due to the unique history of St Nicholas, this will be the very first installation of a Rector in our history. We will again have a tent for a light reception and overflow and enjoyment of the Saturday sunset. It will be a great day for Mother Hall, for our parish and New Hamburg. Please make every effort to be here on Saturday October 21 at 4 PM.
